Foods and beverages are a sub-sector of the consumer and product services industry, with the biggest consumer demand among the industries listed on the Bursa Malaysia. The significant performance factors of Shariah Compliance and Non-Shariah Compliance companies in Malaysia's food and beverage sector were uncovered in this study. The study spans the years 2008 to 2017, with 350 observations from Shariah-compliant and non-compliant firms. Utilizing the Random Effect Model (REM), the data show that for Shariah Compliance enterprises, quick ratio and total asset have a positive link with return on asset, however for Non-Compliance enterprises, only total asset has a positive association with profitability and the others are adversely related. Except for total assets, the results of random effect model regression demonstrated that all independent factors, including quick ratio, debt ratio, tax rate, and tangibility, have a substantial impact on the ROA of Shariah compliance enterprises. Nonetheless, there are three independent variables that are significant for Non Shariah Compliance in terms of return on asset: debt ratio, tax rate, and tangibility. The profitability of non-Shariah compliant enterprises is unaffected by log assets or the quick ratio.
